The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation attacked Kiev with a rocket X-101, made in the 4th quarter of 2023-Defense Express

The experts received a downed k-101 missile, which has an encrypted serial number. Decryption showed that the ammunition was made recently. During the first mass shelling of Ukraine in 2024, Russian troops launched X-101 missiles. At least one of them was made in the 4th quarter of 2023. About it reports Defense Express. The authors of the edition received a photo of a downed X-101 missile. It clearly shows a serial number that allowed the date of manufacture.

This fact can confirm the opinion that the PCS of the Russian Federation was not beaten by missiles in Ukraine, as it was necessary to accumulate enough missiles for large -scale shelling. In the Russian Federation, rocket labeling was changed, journalists write. Usually the rocket has a ten -digit serial number that is applied to each part of the rocket. The marking allowed the origin of the components to the winged rocket.

Since January 2023, the Russians have been trying to hide this information, including in January simply erased the Bulgarian serial number. Now the situation has changed. The enemy tries to complicate the decryption of the serial number. The first six digits on - "solid abracadabra". Previously, the products made in 2023 began with "315", "263" had rockets made after 2020. The authors came to the conclusion that an indication of the 4th quarter of 2023 is in a downed X-101 missile.

She is "sewn" into the total number in the number 9. They took away the seventh figure in the serial room five and came out for the 4th quarter. Probably, the occupiers have gone to complications to hide the possible origin of the components used for the production of winged missiles for the attack of Ukraine. It is emphasized that the use of a rocket produced in the 4th quarter of 2023 does not mean that the rocket arsenal of the Russian Federation is exhausted.
